In 2010, Durston was selected as one of 21 players to form the first Unicorns squad to take part in the Clydesdale Bank 40 domestic limited overs competition against the regular first-class counties. The Unicorns were made up of 15 former county cricket professionals and 6 young cricketers looking to make it in the professional game. Durston impressed with the bat in the early stages of the competition, and after an unbeaten century against Sussex, he was offered a contract to play Twenty20 cricket for Derbyshire for the 2010 season. After impressing for Derbyshire in the limited overs formats of the game, Durston was offered a full playing contract, and became a permanent fixture in both the four-day and one-day Derbyshire sides. He was released by mutual consent at the end of the 2016 season.

Having coached at Oakham School shortly after retirement from the professional game, Durston is now Assistant Coach for Loughborough Women's MCCU and Loughborough Lightning in the Kia Super League. He plays club cricket for Oakham Cricket Club in Rutland in the ECB Leicestershire Premier League.
